Book Description
Volume 10 is a direct continuation and extension of Volume 3 in this series, Visual Cortex. Given the impressive proliferation of papers on visual cortex over the intervening eight years, Volume 10 has specifically targeted visual cortex in primates and, even so, it has not been possible to survey all of the major or relevant developments in this area. Some research areas are experiencing rapid change and can best be treated more comprehensively in a subsequent volume; for example, elaboration of color vision; patterns and subdivisions of functional columns. One major goal of this volume has been to provide an overview of the intrinsic structural and functional aspects of area 17 itself. Considerable pro gress has been made since 1985 in unraveling the modular and laminar organi zation of area 17; and this aspect is directly addressed in the chapters by Peters, Lund et al., Wong-Riley, and Casagrande and Kaas. A recurring leitmotif here is the evidence for precise and exquisite order in the interlaminar and tangential connectivity of elements. At the same time, however, as detailed by Lund et al. and Casagrande and Kaas, the very richness of the connectivity implies a multi plicity of processing routes. This reinforces evidence that parallel pathways may not be strictly segregated. Further connectional complexity is contributed by the various sets of inhibitory neurons, as reviewed by Lund et al. and Jones et al.

Book Description
In Journey For A Blue Horse, Riley Schiller survives his dysfunctional childhood by yearning to be the hero his grandfather encouraged him to be—a person someone might read about in books. But just as Riley begins to have the life he thought he always wanted, he finds himself engulfed in emptiness. The sudden loss of his job, his rocky marriage, and his constant self-doubt send him journeying as far away as Ireland, and deep inside himself, in quest of what has eluded him for so long. Riley must ultimately confront the choices he needs to make. Still groggy from a night of drinking, he slowly concluded this was not America, this was not his house, and this was certainly not his wife. Rubbing his eyes to better see through his confusion, the previous night began to make itself known. A dance, too much to drink, an attractive brunette, and loneliness constituted the important pieces of this puzzle. The woman lying next to him, Mary, he now recalled, retrieved him from the ladies’ room where he had wandered unwittingly. He also recalled hearing the word “haunted” whenever she looked at him, although he could not be sure what in his face prompted her remark. And he remembered how she listened and laughed at the gibberish he thought so profound. But soon he could not be sure he recollected any of it correctly. However, he did know for a fact he wanted to leave immediately.
